Opened Shelf is an offline Swift iPhone utility for opened products and household items: dairy, sauces, greens, cosmetics, creams, cleaning liquids, jars, tubes and anything else that has a shorter life once unsealed.
The app is built around one simple question: after the package is opened, how long should it stay on the shelf, in the fridge, or in the bathroom cabinet?
Name, category, opened date, lifetime days, storage zone, quantity note and optional notes.
Elapsed days and lifetime create deterministic Fresh, Watch or Risky state.
Recent category + lifetime + storage combinations become quick add chips.
Archive outcome reasons like Used up, Spoiled, Forgot or Quality changed.
Analytics show which categories and titles most often become discarded.
The app calculates elapsed days from the opened date and compares progress against the user's watch and risky thresholds. A product opened today starts at zero elapsed days; late products stay readable even when progress goes far beyond the planned lifetime.
Statuses are meant as household organization cues, not medical or food-safety guarantees.
Opened Shelf avoids e-commerce, recipes, shared pantry sync and heavy inventory logic. The product stays narrow: opened things, timelines, outcomes and patterns.
Active Items, Watch, Risky and Discarded This Month summaries, filtered lists and Quick Add Templates.
Finished and discarded items with search, outcome, period, category, storage zone and reason filters.
Discard rate, average used days, category patterns, storage zones and recent repeated losses.
Dairy, sauces, greens, skincare, cleaning and custom categories with default lifetimes.
Status thresholds, haptics, home favorites, sample data, wipe data and app information.
The value is not only remembering a date. The app helps the user see repeated discard patterns and categories that need a shorter personal window.
Finished and discarded outcomes build the history needed for better decisions: which items are used in time, which categories usually expire, and which products may need a smaller size or a shorter personal lifetime.
If there is not enough data, the app stays honest and shows a gentle empty analytics state instead of inventing insights.
The app specification calls for cold icy backgrounds, soft blue panels, a friendly shelf mascot, frosty card frames and household shelf/freshness motifs.
Opened Shelf is presented as a native Swift offline utility for opened products and household items, with local categories, recent templates, history, analytics and deterministic status calculation.
The marketing page keeps the shared Opened Shelf identity from the privacy page: dark catalog ink, walnut panels, warm brass, copper and mint highlights. The structure is different: product dashboard, lifecycle flow, tab lanes, analytics wall and developer block.
The application download URL is intentionally omitted. A store link can be added later to the hero CTA when the listing is ready.
